Adult Pornography
Article 15: Non-judicial Punishment

Adult pornography poses another problematic misuse of government computers. While improper, the Military Criminal Investigative Organizations, or MCIOs, will generally not investigate it. This is because MCIOs generally only investigate felonies, and most adult pornography cases do not rise to that level. Attorneys should consider advising commanders of appropriate administrative actions in such cases. For example, in a recent case, the Army chose Article 15, non-judicial punishment, proceedings as the appropriate method of dealing with an officer who stored adult pornography on his government computer.
